You got that right! We are well on the way toward becoming an aristocratic fascist state, divided into two groups: the very rich & dirt poor.
I can see your point and understand it catch however, it's doubtbul we'll ever see that much of a stretch. Sure, right now we're taking care of more welfare recipients but part of that is their choice. It's easier to make babies and receive money than it is to get a job and earn a living. There has been and always will be the wealthy class, the middle class and the poor. As long as there are professions such as teaching, lawyers, law enforcement etc... there will always be a working class.
As for those phony stimuli that both parties keep putting out there, please keep mine. I'd rather see them keep my tax refund than continue passing debt onto my kids.
The stimulus packages are so overloaded with pork they won't do anything more than what you suggest. We fix the economy by putting people back to work. We do that by taxing the hell out of imports and by giving good tax breaks to US owned businesses.
Personally I don't care if they discover why mice only live two years on Jupiter or why salt taste better than pepper according to a recent study. It's all bull.
We've grown soft as a nation. We're producing takers instead of makers and weak,"give me, give me" children.
